    Hey Guys,

    Im not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but it seems to fit well.

    Im looking to release a game in the next few days, and I think it would be good to have a 1 minute trailer for it.

    The game is for the Ouya (which has HDCP), but it runs on PC too so its probably easiest to capture it from there.

    Does anyone have recommendations for a tool for capturing the video & then for editing the video?

    I tried out mirallis action! and it does seem to do a good job of recording, but is there anything free that would do the same?

    I haven't found anything for editing yet. I just want to do basic things on it, like add text, zoom to a section and overlay separate music.

    If anyone has advice on any of the above I would really appreciate it. Alternatively if anyone is interested in helping to create the trailer that would be amazing either (long shot i know!).

    thanks

    A quick way to do it would be to use OBS to record the footage on PC via screen capture.

    You'd have to ask elsewhere about the software, I use a mac so iMovie takes care of basic stuff.

    I also have a sewell HDCP stripper so that's no problem to me :)

    Here is a link to it here

    Soc-Car for PC

    Should work with Xbox 360 controllers, 2 players on keyboard (arrow keys and awsd) also you can connect your phone or tablet up to use it as a controller (select "More Controllers?" for more info)
